Susan Lee-Chun: Remnants at Play

Feb 25, 2023 - April 1, 2023

WAAM is pleased to present Susan Lee-Chun: Remnants at Play, an immersive exhibition exploring the studio archives of multidisciplinary Miami-based artist Susan Lee-Chun. 

Remnants at Play examines how material culture can shape and influence dominant cultural assumptions. How do objects derive meaning and accrue their own identity in a world where the proliferation of material culture is exponential? And how do cross-cultural consumption of these objects and associated rituals affect social reality?

In Remnants at Play, we journey alongside a collection of artifacts, soft sculptures, found objects, textiles, and other exploratory objects that are foundational in Lee-Chun’s artmaking. These artifacts and ‘remnants’ bear witness to the various guises and fictional personas adopted by Lee-Chun throughout her practice and are integral markers of her interest and excavations in cultural and social psychology.
